Roof rack (for wagon)
If the vehicle has a roof rack, you can
load cargo on top of your vehicle.
We recommend to obtain the crossbars and fixing components needed to install
the roof rack on your vehicle from an
authorised Kia dealer.
✽NOTICE
• The crossbars (if equipped) should be placed in the proper load carrying
positions prior to placing items onto
the roof rack.
• If the vehicle is equipped with a sun-
roof, be sure not to position cargo onto
the roof rack in such a way that it
could
interfere with sunroof operation.
• When the roof rack is not being used to
carry cargo, the crossbars may need to
be repositioned if wind noise is detected.
WARNING
• The vehicle centre of gravity will be higher when items are loaded
onto the roof. Avoid sudden
starts, braking, sharp turns,
abrupt manoeuvres or high speeds
that may result in loss of vehicle
control or rollover resulting in anaccident.
• Always drive slowly and turn cor- ners carefully when carrying
items on the roof. Severe wind
updrafts, caused by passing
vehicles or natural causes, can
cause sudden upward pressure
on items loaded on the roof. This
is especially true when carrying
large, flat items such as wood
panels or mattresses. This could
cause the items to fall off the roof
and cause damage to your vehi-
cle or others around you.
• To prevent damage or loss of cargo whilst driving, check fre-
quently before or whilst driving to
make sure the items on the roof
are securely fastened.
OJD042245

• When carrying cargo on the roof
rack, take the necessary precau-tions to make sure the cargo does
not damage the roof of the vehicle.
• When carrying large objects on the roof rack, make sure they donot exceed the overall roof lengthor width.

• To prevent damage or loss of cargo whilst driving, check fre-
quently before or whilst driving to
make sure the items on the roof
rack are securely fastened.WARNING
• The following specification is the maximum weight that can be
loaded onto the roof rack.
Distribute the load as evenly as
possible across the crossbars (if
equipped) and roof rack and
secure the load firmly.
Loading cargo or luggage in
excess of the specified weight
limit on the roof rack may dam-
age your vehicle.

Features of your vehicle
 Fading - As your car moves away fromthe radio station, the signal will weaken
and sound will begin to fade. When this
occurs, we suggest that you selectanother stronger station.
 Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears.  Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select anotherstation with a stronger signal.
 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed signal from the same station, or by
signals from two stations with close
frequencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the condition haspassed.
Using a mobile phone or a two-wayradio
When a mobile phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not meanthat something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the
mobile phone at a place as far as possi-
ble from the audio equipment.
JBM004JBM005
CAUTION
When using a communication sys-
tem such a mobile phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, a separateexternal antenna must be fitted.
When a mobile phone or a radio setis used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehi-cle's electrical system and adverse-
ly affect safe operation of the vehi- cle.
WARNING
Don't use a mobile phone when you
are driving. You must stop at a safe
place to use a mobile phone.
